iiView Vpad now available

By Ubergizmo

Chinese manufacturers want to jump aboard the tablet bandwagon as well, with the iiView Vpad now available. This tablet comes with 1GB RAM alongside a 160GB hard drive, retailing for $499 a pop. Underneath the hood, it comes with an Intel Atom N270 processor alongside Windows 7 Starter as the operating system of choice. It is not equipped with a HD accelerator, so you can more or less rule out video streaming on this puppy. For those with more dough, you can purchase an upgraded version equipped with 2GB RAM and a doubling of its hard drive capacity to 320GB. Perfect for folks with deep pockets and want to keep themselves occupied before the Apple iPad arrives.

iiView Vpad enters today’s tablet fray with yesterday’s netbook specs

By Donald Melanson

iiView’s already shown that it’s not one to avoid a trend, and it’s now hopped on the biggest one going with its new 10.2-inch Vpad tablet. Unfortunately, it seems that the company isn’t as quick to update the specs as the form factor, as this one only packs some of the most basic, netbook-like internals, including an Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and Windows 7 Starter Edition for an OS. That will set you back $499, while $699 will buy you a slightly upgraded model with built-in 3G, an extra gig of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive. A bit of a tough sell in today’s tablet market, to be sure, but you can place your order for one right now if it happens to strike your fancy.

Vpad Tablet uses netbook hardware, lacks power

By Dave Freeman

iiView recently announced their answer to tablet computing, the Vpad. The issue is, I’m not sure they understood exactly what people are looking for in a tablet PC. I like tablet PC’s. I like the concept, the idea of a computer that’s portable, uses a touch screen, and plays media. Unfortunately, the specs on the Vpad don’t look very promising.

iiView A2 borrows Apple’s panache for a Win 7 netbook

By Joseph L. Flatley

Manufacturers the world over have given this one some serious thought, and they’ve decided that you want something that feels like a MacBook Air, looks (vaguely) like a MacBook Air, and doesn’t run OS X. Available come October 22, the iiView A2 features an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 320GB HDD, a 12.1-inch display, and 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless. Shipping for $399 with Windows 7, this guy will look right at home next to your award-winning collection of Air KIRFs — and won’t break the bank in the process. Hit that read link for more info.
